You could simply walk 10k steps in a day and stretch starting out. I know you’re saying you want to wait 3 weeks to exercise but the sooner you start the process of exercising the sooner you’ll be increasing your deficit and closer to reaching your goal. But in my experience (this is my second cut) it comes in whooshes so it’s well worth the consistency and discipline. (check profile for progress pics) Once you’re at a healthy weight it takes a lot longer to lose body fat. I’m 5’2 115lbs on a mini cut to lose 3lbs and I’m giving myself 2 months to do it. I’m just gonna take it day by day, making small changes that will hopefully become the norm for me! !thanks I have never counted calories before or tried this health thing out, so am also just really curious and excited to see how it goes. It seems like starting out with health and fitness is trial and error, so you can see what works best for you. The ‘goal weight’ is more of a starting goal for me, in that I’m gonna focus more on the physical changes I see it the mirror, than the actual number on the scale. Regarding the weight loss, I’m gonna try and not focus too much on what the scale says, because like you said, it won’t reflect changes in fat and muscle. I’m going to try the dietary changes first because I enjoy cooking and coming up with new recipes and find it a lot harder to find the motivation to exercise, even if it is only 10 minutes a day! But I’m all for switching that up if I don’t find that it’s working for me.

I am a vegan and have always eaten pretty healthy meals but sweet and savoury snacks have always been my weak spot.įrom the research I have done, I can see why smaller deficits are the way to go. And what sort of timeline would I be looking at to achieve my goal? Like I said, I am aiming to start exercising in a few weeks and will adjust my calorie intake accordingly. What would be a healthy calorie deficit to be in, as there doesn’t seem to be much space for too much of a deficit. I used the Harrison’s Benedict calculator which puts my BMR at 1367.1 and my TDEE at 1640. My lifestyle at the moment is pretty sedentary and I don’t exercise at all. I am starting off with dietary changes and will hopefully start incorporating some exercise after a couple weeks, as I don’t want to start everything at once because I know I won’t be able to keep it all up. I am 27 years old, 5ft3 and around 124-125lbs, (which I know puts me in the healthy range for my height but I carry some extra fat for my frame). Hi, I am currently looking to lose around 4-6lbs, depending on how I feel.
